Keyon Dooling and Earl Boykins have done well filling in for Brandon Jennings, but it's now up to Jennings to help the Bucks make their move in the East.
The Nets' road woes continued in Milwaukee on Saturday, where a 91-81 loss was their 11th straight and their 21st in their last 22 games away from the Prudential Center. The difference was a second quarter in which the Nets scored just 12 points.
After a homestand that saw the Nets hold opponents to less than 40% shooting, the Nets let the Pacers shoot 62.5% in their 124-92 loss in Indianapolis. Now, the question is which was more representative of the team's defense.
The Bucks hope to have Brandon Jennings back in uniform for the first time in six weeks when they return to the BC looking to make it seven wins in a row against the New Jersey Nets. Both teams played Friday night, but while the Bucks scraped out a surprising 116-110 shootout in Toronto, the Nets lost by 34 in Indiana.
